I am not merely a baseball player. I am a black man who has done what he wants, gotten what he wanted, and will continue to get it.
The will to win is worthless if you don't get paid for it.
The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play.
I represent both the underdog and the overdog in our society.
Being a superstar... can make life very difficult, difficult to grow. So I like to visit with my friends, listen to some fine music, drink some good wine, perhaps take a ride in the country in a fine car, or... just walk along the beach.
I couldn't accept the racial epithets in reference to players like Elliott Maddox or Billy Sample.
